Making New Plans

With our holiday to the Thames this summer put on hold until next summer, we are starting to look at where we can go instead in our more local cruising area.

Favourite so far is to spend a couple of weeks pottering about on the Rivers Trent and Soar with perhaps a few days on the Witham as well to finish off with.

We know of a few dog friendly moorings and are starting to gather together a list of pubs where we will be able to have Sydney join us for a drink and a bite to eat. 

Hazelford Lock island is one mooring which sticks out as somewhere that we shall visit. The island is perfect for the dog to run around and enjoy himself and the pub is only a mile and a half walk away for when we fancy an afternoon drink.

  1. Hazelford Lock is one of our favourites. A stay times well would provide you with enough Blackberries and apples to have crumble for most of the year.

  2. I think we will be a bit early for the blackberries and the apples.

    Should hopefully have the right weather for a BBQ or two though.

  3. On of our favourites is Stoke Bardolf, we used to like the long walk around Holme Pierrepont, but Scout ate a gut full of bird s**t last time and chucked her guts up, so we dropped back down to Stoke which is a lot less wind swept xx

  4. Yes. We like Stoke Bardolph as well. Will probably stop there on our way back down river after we have been on the Soar and into Nottingham.
